you have it right at the top.
assuming you are operating in org.tld, so www.org.tld and modperl.org.tld
are valid boxes, then you send the domain string as ".$domain". This one
cost me about a week, so don't feel too bad!
Until now, you've been dealing with not even seeing the cookie header (in
the raw req). Once the raw req has the right info, (e.g. the Set-Cookie:
header), then it comes down to verifying the info IN the headers. <sigh>
DON'T EXPECT TO SET A COOKIE FOR MULTIPLE DOMAINS. If you set a cookie for
.this.org, it's not a part of the technology to allow the same cookie to
work w/ .something.net as well. ALTHO: There's nothing stopping you from
setting cookies from perl.this.org for the .something.org domain if you
expect to go back and forth.
HTH, and good luck!
